Introvert: “Don’t talk to me please” not “omg gAmingg”

Introverts use words related to anime and emoticons, whereas extroverts use words like “party” “baby” and “ya”

People that are “open” are intelligent, and talk about “dreams” and the “universe” (apparently), using descriptive words, and people that are “not open” are unintelligent, and use words like “u” “wat” “gud” “wen”

Personal Opinion: I think that this article and the study in the article is absolute bull#$!^. Being an introvert is a personality where the person doesn’t care about other people as much as themselves, and the study basing someone being an introvert by liking anime, playing video games and using emoticons is ridiculous.

“Quotes”:

“Neurotic people disproportionately use the phrase ‘sick of’ and the word ‘depressed.’”

“males use the possessive ‘my’ when mentioning their wife or girlfriend more often than females use ‘my’ with ‘husband’ or ‘boyfriend.’”

“introverts make heavy use of emoticons and words related to anime, but extroverts say “party,” “baby,” and “ya.””
